If a filename contains a 0x5C (/) character, then that character will be
treated as a path delimiter.  The error you're seeing looks to be causued by
the missing directories in what is taken to be a pathname (though rsync doesn't
know to create those directories, since the slashes got returned in a
filename).

What character encoding do you use?  Rsync can really only handle ones that are
single-character compatible, like UTF-8 (where any multi-byte characters are
all high-bit bytes that can't conflict with normal characters).  You may be
able to set something in cygwin so that the filesystem calls return UTF-8 data
to rsync (at a guess).  If that is possible, rsync should work fine with that.
